Head movement, more footwork, stay extremely low and try and outsmart frankie and capitalize on mistakes. He's not gonna KO you or submit you so why not let him build a false sense of dominance and try and trap him with as much power as possible, that's what Gray more or less was doing, with maybe less movement and more Power than BJ could really muster but Gray proved he could put him on his ass with a well timed counter combo, and counter him to the body as hard as you can hit him, aim for the liver as much as possible.

I'd fight like Gray did, just really beyond that finishing the job is the real problem, flooring him and a well timed guillotine is as good as I can come up with unless you can go speed for speed with frankie like Aldo can.

Initiate clinches as much as possible to get the takedown. He got Fitch down who is way heavier than Edgar and nearly finished him in one round. His top game should still be one of the best out there. And Penn's takedowns aren't bad either; he just rarely seemed to want to go for them anymore. I remember being shocked as hell in the fitch fight when he immediately went for it and it worked well for him.

Who knows, but my game plan from here on out would be to enjoy being one of the baddest mother fuckers to ever walk the earth, hang with my family, and eat those hamburgers that he loves. And stick around the sport cause we all love him.

Train in Brazil as originally planned, and or move to AKA, then reunite with Marv Marinovich (who's now in Santa Cruz). It isn't rocket science, and if he was actually too past his prime, and physically imcapable of competing, then I'm sure Javier or Bob Cook would have stepped up like men and let their feelings be known.
